The Neumann KK183 is the omnidirectional capsule for the KM series digital microphone. The omnidirectional polar pattern features a uniform frequency response and pick up area at the frontal and off-axis sections of the capsule. The KK183 is user installable and features a non-reflective finish.
Features:
The Neumann system KM A/D is a modular microphone system for even the most demanding applications. Eight different small diaphragm capsules (KK 120 … KK 185) may be combined with either an analog output stage (KM A) or a digital AES 42 output stage (KM D). All components are available in nickel or Nextel black (nx). A comprehensive range of accessories ensures adaptability to the most diverse fields of application.
The analog, transformerless output stage KM A operates with P48 phantom power. A switchable -10 dB preattenuation allows for sound pressure levels of up to 152 dB (depending on capsule type) without distortion artifacts.
The digital output stage KM D is compliant to the AES 42 standard and opens entirely new possibilities, unattainable in the analog domain. The integrated DSP permits remote control of microphone parameters, such as digital gain, preattenuation (6, 12, 18 dB) and low cut (0, 40, 80, 160). An integrated peak limiter and a compressor/limiter with an additional de-esser function protect the audio signal from overload. Neumann’s patented A/D-converter technology ensures a very high dynamic range of up to 122 dB-A across the entire digital production chain.
The KK 183 is a diffuse-field equalized pressure transducer with a free-field treble boost (approx. 7 dB at 10 kHz). The frequency response in the diffuse sound field is flat up to 10 kHz.
